Method
- In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the pear slices. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- Strain the sangria through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher or bowl. Refrigerate until well chilled.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the sangria over. Garnish each glass with a thin slice of pear.
💡 Tips
- Use a ripe but firm pear for the garnish so it holds its shape.
- For a stronger tea flavor, let the tea steep a few extra minutes before straining.
- Make ahead and chill for up to a day; the flavors meld beautifully.
